Mazda Tribute
| | Model of the car: | Mazda Tribute | | | General comments: | some people say Ford Escape, others say Mazda Tribute. Basically they share same platform, and Engine(Ford engine). Difference is that Escape is made in US, where Tribute is made in Hiroshima, Japan. I don't know which one is better, but the fact is that Escape has more recalls than Tribute so far. But such things always happen to new modeled vehicles. I chose Tribute because of it's luxury look(some people misunderstand this car with Mercedes M class), and less confusing pricing with options. This is my first time to own Mazda car, and I used to own Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee, Trooper, and Wrangler. This one beats every one of them:mileage, management of interior space, handling, etc... and i must admit that this one really drives like a sedan which is a tough thing to do with SUVs. No wonder this car's philosophy is "Soul of a Sports Car" not to mention, i love the way cup holder comes out for the rear seat. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | the fact there is 4-cylinder version of this car. nothing else...zoom zoom zoom | | | Previous car: | not only compact SUVs, but all mid size sports utility cars, because this one can beat many of them in so many ways. |
